Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by the fungus Cercospora beticola (Sacc.), is the most destructive foliar pathogen of sugarbeet worldwide. Control measures include the use of resistant varieties and crop rotation, but timely fungicide applications are essential for CLS management. Resistance to sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides (FRAC group 3) has been increasing in C. beticola ...

in this study, cercospora sp.on olea europaea and pseudocercospora mori on morus alba are being recorded from iran. moreover, new reports were provided for cercospora apii s.l. (including c. canescens,c. citrullina, c. morina, c. sonchi, c. cruciferarumand c. helianthicola), and pseudocercospora rubi. also, helianthus sp., morus alba,raphanus sp. and taraxacum sp. are reported as new hosts forc...

Eight species of the genus Cercospora from different localities in Northern provinces of Iran were obtained and examined during spring-autumn 2010. Cercospora acnidae (from Amaranthus chlorostachys var. chlorostachys), C. beticola (from Beta vulgaris), C. iridis (from Iris sp.), C. lactucae-sativae (from Lactuca sativa), C. mercurialis (from Mercurialis annua), C. sorghi (from Sorghum halepense...

Cercospora cf. sigesbeckiae is an ascomycete fungal pathogen that infects various plants, including important agricultural commodities, such as soybean. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence and assembly of this pathogen.

The fern flora of the world (Pteridophyta) has direct evolutionary links with the earliest vascular plants that appeared in the late Devonian. Knowing the mycobiota associated to this group of plants is critical for a full understanding of the Fungi. Nevertheless, perhaps because of the minor economic significance of ferns, this niche remains relatively neglected by mycologists. Cercosporoid fu...

resistance of 16 sugar beet cultivars to cercospora leaf spot was evaluated in ghaemshahr region. the experiment was conducted in a complete block design with 6 replications, and, disease severity of cultivars was measured two times. root yield of cultivars, as well as their disease severity, was compared with each other under natural cercospora infection in dezful area (winter crop). in dezful...

Trichoderma asperellum (NST-009): A potential native antagonistic fungus to control Cercospora leaf spot and promote the growth of ‘Green Oak’ lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivated in commercial NFT hydroponic system | Athakorn Promwee, Warin Intana Agricultural Journals

An altered beta-tubulin gene that confers resistance to the fungicide benomyl was isolated from a genomic library of a UV-induced mutant of Cercospora kikuchii and used as a selectable marker for transformation. The level of benomyl resistance conferred to the transformants was at least 150-fold greater than the intrinsic resistance of the C. kikuchii recipient protoplasts. In the majority of c...
